Summer house

A flint-stone, thatched retreat stands beside a picturesque well, exuding timeless romance in the Dell. Meanwhile, in Rosemary’s Wood, a beautifully timber-framed hideaway is framed by lush rhododendrons and ferns, creating a magical woodland setting.

bridges

Two stunning bridges grace the gardens: a graceful flint stone bridge that blends seamlessly with the landscape, and a rustic wooden bridge spanning the lake at Foggy Bottom, offering a wilder, tranquil charm. Both create perfect spots for quiet reflection in nature.

tree-house

Nestled in Adrian Bloom’s private garden, this timber-framed tree house is built for him by his beloved son and jealously guarded. Framed by towering giant Redwoods and adorned with pampas grass, it offers a rare photo opportunity—will you be lucky enough to earn an invite?

spectacular autumn

As the season turns, Bressingham Gardens transforms into a tapestry of warm, lush colors. The garden bursts with a rich bounty of shapes and forms, where the golden hues of grasses dance with the deep tones of asters, dahlias, and salvias. It’s a time when nature’s beauty reaches its peak, offering a spectacular, ever-changing display of vibrant autumnal splendor.

winter magic

Even in the coldest months, Bressingham Gardens radiates with winter beauty. Large swathes of Cornus Midwinter Firelight up the landscape with their fiery red stems, while delicate hellebores and winter-flowering heathers add soft touches of color. Patches of early winter bulbs bring a welcome burst of life, creating a serene, yet vibrant display that warms the heart during the winter chill.
